The idea
Newborns prefer sweet tastes and reject bitter ones; by six months, a preference for sweetness tracks how much sweetness the infant has met.
In practice
A child offered a new vegetable six to fifteen times before any real preference shows.
Where people slip
Breastfed children tend to be less picky, likely because of the variety in the nursing parent's diet.
